L DENT PITCHES
By Joe Agler.
B irmingham, aua., au* 12 —
Elliott Dent and Chapman
will be In the heavy rolea at
the matinee thle afternoon, and we
are all hoplnK to collect again at the
Oxpenee of the Barons.
They certainly wa re ea»y yesterday,
and it" was a relief to us to get away
wJth an easy gamevafter all the tough
ones, both wins aryl loses, we have
had recently.
To begin with. the< Barons couldn't
hit Oil Price 1'p to the ninth he
pitched air-tight ball, and then with
the score 8 to 0 In hie favor he eased
up a little and they scored a couple
of runs
We did all our scorlng'ln pairs, the
whole line-up batting hard, and Tom
my Long starred with a grand run
ning catch of a terrific drive from
Knlseley’s bat that started off like
a sure home run.
With the Jump game safely stored
away, w-e should take at least two of
the three But this chap Trough Is
due to work to-day. and even with
Dent working for us we will prob
ably have the time of our young live-
trimming him. He has won his last
ton games In a row 1 and Is due to
crack, but I have noticed there Isn't
much to this bclngldue tiring.

P ITTSBURG. Aug. 12—“So Math-
ewHon gets my goat by watch
ing my feet, does he?” was
Hans Wagner's query, when his at
tention was called to the statement
by John J. McGraw, manager of the
Giants, that the New York star twlrl-
er fooled the mighty Dutchman dur
ing the last series at the Polo Grounds
by watching how he was standing at
the plate.
Sav, ' he added, "when a man isn’t
hitting, the pitcher doesn’t even have
to watch his feet. He would walk up
to within ten feet of the plate and
toss up a devvdrop and the chances
are that the batsman would either
miss it or pop up an easy one.
• • •
(‘I’VE been in the game a good while
* and I’ve faced a lot of twirier*,
but I never saw any that had any
reason to fear me when 1 was in a
slump. And I’ve never .oeen any I
was afraid of when I was in a clout
ing mood
"Matty may have watched my feet,
but that didn't make me strike out. T
was simply in a slump and I could not
hit a balloon.
"There Is no doubt that Christy
studies opposing batsmen very closely.
I’l! give him all the credit in the
world. He’s a wine pitcher, and no
mistake. The batter who gets Just
what he wants from Mathewson is a
lucky fellow.
• • •
«T)1 T I'll tell you what I’ve done
and seen others do. I’ve seen
home runs made off balls that were
intended to be wasted' pitched I've
seen batters hit ballM that were never
near the plate into ttvo-baggers I’ve
seen bat-handle singles and all sorts
of lucky ones, but I never saw a bat
ter who could hit when he was in a
slump, did you?"

I T appears that some lively scribe
in Chattanooga jumped at a con
clusion in regard to the case of
Joe Agler and Jersey City. Also, he
Jumped too far, and Jumped the
wrong way.
Aside from those trifling* circum
stances, he made a very accurate
crack at it when he reported that the
Atlanta club had scornfully turned
down an offer for Joe by the J. C.
president.
That report, by the way, was to the
effect that Borton and some unknown
person were to be swapped to Atlanta
for Agler. The best information on
the present deal is $3,000 in cash. Joe
to report when the Southern League
season is over.
• * ♦
'T'HEKE baseball magnates are pro-
* verbially dark and mysterious in
their little deals, and not much in
formation can be extracted from
them. The prevailing sentiment is
one of mild wonder at the disposition
of Agler, the best first baseman in
the Southern League, considering the
announcement that the management
is keen for a pennant next year, as
well as this
• • •
TLJERE, how’ever. another factor en-
1 * ters the proposition.
Agler very likely would have been
drafted had he not been disposed of
before the season began.
Still, it does seem that Joey could
have been covered up and concealed
with the assistance of some friendly
power C. Griffith, for example.
But it never is the part of wisdom
to tip off decisions without having all
the facts.
We re willing to let it cook a while.
• • •
A NP speaking of C. Griffith and
** covering up, it appears the Old
Fox in acquiring our human office
building. Slim Love, is malting a bona
fide trade. J
The wise old boy, carried away by
the work of Joe Boehling. comes out
flat-footed w'ith the announcement
that he wants a complete staff of
fork-handers for next season—with
Walter Johnson on the side, of course.
The other side, you might put it.
All right, Clark, old boy. But if
you draw any George Edward Wad
dells in the collection, we don’t eirvy
you the Job of managing ’em.
\17ITH further reference to the
* * growing popularity of tlie fork-
hand slabinan, we note that President
Hirsig. of the Vols, Is rushing madly
toward Detroit to close a deal with
tlie Tigers, who are after Claude Wil
liams. the brilliant young southpaw
for whom an offer of $3,500 has been
made.
Detroit now has a corner on the
likeliest left-handers in the Southern
League. Coveleskie and Cavet already
having been cinched by Navin.
Query: Did Jennings take a. tip
from C. Griffith, or v. v.?
* • •
I F Bill Smith, with Dent, Love, Voss
and Conzelman to choose from,
can take one of the two remaining
games in Birmingham, he will lug his
collection of athletes home next
Thursday in third place, and within
striking distance of his third pennant
for this town.
He might be in striking distance,
anyway, even if he lost both games
to the Barons.
But the striking would be a good
deal harder.
If by any happy chance or combi
nation of good fortune and ball play
ing Bill should lick the Slagrollers
a complete series, prospects would be
even better for fireworks at Ponce
DeLeon.
• * *
AT any rate, it now appears that the
** Crackers can not lose enough
gamee* on this final road trip to oe
hopelessly out of it by the tlmg they
deploy for action in the old Cow Pas
ture. bounded by the well-known Red
Mountain on the east, a vast expanse
of prairie on the north, and thouMands
of frantic bugs on the south and
west.
Thousands being an estimate, or
course.
• • *
BI T the Crackers won’t be hopeless-
ly out of it when they get back.
The same old hope that has been
springing eternal in the human breast
for a considerable period of time will
be bouncing up and down in the voice
producers of the aforesaid thousands,
according to whether Holland caresses
one on the bugle or pops the same
skyward with the tow path jingled.
Here's to the good old hope that
springs eternal!
To say nothing of the dope.

THE NATIONAL PASTIME.
He manages a baseball team; his
heart is full of woe;
And sadly ha remarks to me, "Why\
write about me sot
You sit and wield the hammer with
a calm and cureless air
While I am up against it and mg
heart is full of rare.
“You sit and hand me out advice
on how to run mg job.
And some of it is punk enough to
make me heave a sob.
You do gour labor free from care
and spring a lot of bunk
And no one ever tells you how to
write gour duilg junk."
14 Ah, yen'* / made rrplg to him, “Mg
life is (aim and free.
Xo stranger ever hands advice or
censure unto me
Except about a score of kindlg mor
tals cvcng dag
Who strive to hand me dope about
the way to earn my pay.
“And he who clutters up the mails
to tell me what to do
Will sit in yonder park to-day and
hand advice to you.
And though he seems to be a guy
who leads a carefree life.
When he gets home I'll bet hr gets
a bawling from his wife**
Larry McLean has been hoisted from
a tail-end team to a flock of world’s
series money. This is a temperance
sermon with reversed English.
Not that names have anything to do
with it, but the eighth annual Western
championship at the Omaha Gun Club
was won by C. A. Gunning.
Joe Birmingham says he still hopes
his team will win. Faith and Charity
are strangers in our midst, but Hope we
have always with us.
Reports from Columbus lndica t e that
King Cole’s artistic temperament has
broken out again.. The most serious
feature of the case is that Bonesetter
Reese is on a vacation
While Jack Johnson finds it impossible
to stir up a fight in Europe, there is
reason to believe that he could find
plenty of it if he ever returned to his
old home, Galveston. Tex.
AFTER THE GAME IS OVER.
Tell me not in mournful numbers
We must hang around a while—
That a passenger encumbers
Every inch of scat and aisle.
Let us then be up and going.
With a heart for any fate,
Dr the tnissus will be throwing
Cups and saucers at our plate.
